Sculpture and Clay

Sculpture is such a wide area of 3D art study. Hyatt's carries all the supplies and types of clay & plasters you need! Choose from oil-based plasteline -- also known as plastelina -- air-dry, oven-bake polymer and polymer resins as well as Hydrocal & Plaster of Paris for casting & moulding.

Create a 3D solid object from your own 2D design! Recent technological advances allow sculpture to be created via 3D printing, presenting new possibilities in the form and production of sculpture in a range of materials. These sculptures can be created using CAD software, or free-form using 3D printing pens.

Polymer clay can be carved, molded and shaped and then hardened by simple baking in a normal oven. No kiln required! Very popular for jewelry, sculpture, art and design. Choose from hundreds of colors. Once hardened, Sculpey, Premo & Kato clays can be cut, carved, drilled and milled to the desired shape. Let your imagination run wild!

Many artists prefer to paint with palette knives or these rubber tipped brushes rather than traditional hair & bristle brushes. Sculptors like to use the stiifer black tipped ClayShapers to make marks and designs in soft clays before drying or firing. Color coded for stiffness.

Regardless of the clay or sculpting material used, sculptures need an interior frame or armature to prevent sagging. Aluminum armature wires are the most traditional yet many artists use metal mesh or even pipe cleaners to brace their scuptures while drying or firing.

Every sculptor needs tools to render their sculpture and Hyatt's has a wide selection to choose from. Boxwood, metal & plastic tools & scrapers allow details to be added or deleted easily. Sets contain the tools most students or beginners need. Beginning pottery wheel allows kids to practice sculpting at home. Mabef wood professional sculpture trestle allows works in progress to be worked on easily since it rotates to allow work on all sides.
